History

Airborne Athletics, Inc. was formed by the two brothers, Doug and Jeff Campbell, to produce training tools using Consistent Air Technology (CAT) (patent #6,659,893). The original name of the company was Volleyball Products International, changing to their current name in 2000.

They began with a volleyball machine in 1996, creating the first version known as the SetPro 2000. The AirCAT training machine replaced it in the year 2001.

The Dr. Dish is a basketball machine using the same technology. It was introduced in 2003 and is labeled as a game simulation machine, providing players the opportunity to practice game-like situations with game-like passes.

Many aspects of the Dr. Dish carried over to another basketball machine called iMake, introduced in 2007. Where Dr. Dish simulates and trains players in every facet of the game including shooting, rebounding and defense, iMake focuses on perimeter shooting.

These machines help basketball and volleyball youth athletes train harder and at game speed. iMake, and AirCAT.

Dr. Dish is a game simulation machine in addition to a traditional shooting machine. It uses a net collection system when under the basket that collects 90% of made or missed shots. Dr. Dish can also provide bounce, flare, or lob passes from anywhere on the basketball court to simulate virtually any game situation while operating on a rechargeable battery.

iMake is a shooting machine with touch pad programming. It uses a net collection system that captures both made and missed shots from underneath the basket and passes the ball out to the perimeter.

Both machines can be used for individual or team training, have a wireless remote control, and can track shots taken, shots made and calculate shooting percentage with their wireless shots made counter. The Dr. Dish is used by universities across the United States and in 40 countries.
